GUIDELINES FOR PLANNING AND WRITING YOUR PAPER
1. Information search
A crucial skill you will learn throughout your academic career is how to find, sort and use information effectively and appropriately. The amount of information available to you can be overwhelming, and an emphasis of this course is on helping you to navigate it. A good place to begin is by using the PsycINFO database – a detailed guide to searching it will be provided in class.
2. Writing the paper
a. Length and formatting
Your paper should be 5 pages long, excluding your reference list. It should be double-spaced and typed in 12-pt Times New Roman font, with 1-inch margins.
b. APA Style
All sources that you cite in your paper, as well as the reference list, must be formatted according to APA style. An online tutorial can be found here: http:// www.apastyle.org/learn/tutorials/basics-tutorial.aspx
c. Structure
In general, your paper should consist of roughly 3 sections:
i) An introduction in which you describe your topic, explain why it is of interest or importance to you, and a brief statement of what you will do in your paper;
ii) A body in which you go into greater detail on your topic of choice (e.g. discuss evidence for or against something, describe a phenomenon or theory, ask critical questions of a body of research). This should form the bulk of your paper (3 – 4 pages).
iii) A conclusion in which you briefly summarize the arguments/ description/discussion you have provided, and draw together what you have written to reach a conclusion. It is often helpful here to connect what you have done to your initial interest in the topic.
